Space is an unforgiving environment. Astronauts must be protected from extreme temperatures at both ends of the hot and cold spectrum with materials that perform.
In recent decades, aerogels have emerged as a leading insulation solution for NASA for both spacesuits and spaceships. These materials combine polymers with a solvent to create a gel, then swap the liquid in the gel for air, resulting in the lightest weight, most thermally efficient material on the planet.
